So a preview to the biggest game of the season so far and I'm worried!
Normally I'm very optimistic no matter how bad the situation seems, but now I have no clue.....
Normally I can always find good reason to believe we have a chance even if it is only a small chance. Now we don't know if we will have Gerrard, Torres or Johnson available, all three face a late fitness test.
Personally I think all three will play a part in the match, with Gerrard possibly to come from the bench like he did last year and the other two to start the match.
The reason I am not as optimistic as I usually am is not because of the players who are playing or those who might miss out. It is rather because we have been playing like absolute rubbish! The player seem to be unmotivated and uninterested in winning the games we play. I don't know if it from Benitez that the players don't have any real movement around the pitch or if is that just don't move, but I believe that when Aquilani plays we will See much more movement, which will no doubt help us allot.
But the game on Sunday could go either way, with Rooney looking like he will miss the game as well and Fletcher is also a doubt.
What will be interesting is to see the reaction of the crowed when Owen returns home. I'm sure there will be no love lost and once the game starts I hope the crowed get on back big time.
Should we win this game in style or by fluke it could be the catalyst for a change in our season. It would put us only four points behind Unt. and with many games still to come after this one we will have plenty opportunity to turn this season into a success. We just need to sort out all the other things that are going on behind the sense, what they are I don't know, but I'm sure that something else is going on. Maybe a win would help sort that out.
Should we loose this game, well then all hell could break loose. Even if we out play them and they steal it (it would not be the first time either), it might be the end of our season. We would be 10 points of a Unt. team going great guns and with many other teams pushing on from last season it would be much harder for us to come back. That is not taking into account the other mental and ever mentioned confidence problems that would arise.
So that makes this a must win game, not only for this season but also for next. If we fail to get a top four finish at least, we will fall into a free fall. It would be harder to get top players to come when they could join a champions league team, but also the money that we would miss out on to [pay back the debt!That alone could kill us. We are not beyond what has happened to Leeds and you would be fool to think we were.
So always stand by the team no matter what.
I have to predict, I always do. Liverpool 2 - United 1
Lets hope...
